Data were collected from 133 nursing students from June 4 to 15, 2020. Data analysis included t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients using the SPSS. As a result of the study, the knowledge of nursing students average level was 10.83, the average degree of attitude was 3.15, and the average degree of altruism was 3.57. As a result of analyzing the correlation between variable factors, the blood donation attitude and altruism(r=.447 p<.001) showed significantly positive correlation. The results of this study show that in order to increase the participation of blood donation to nursing students, voluntary participation through voluntary activities is main factor to increases voluntary participation, and it is necessary to change the blood donation attitude and perception of college students according to the current situation in which blood supply and demand is insufficient due to COVID 19.
